Select block on the drawings with C# using DraftSight API - c#

I need to select a specific block/border on the drawing and print that block/border as a PDF. I can find border by name but I can not take border coordination or at least one point to select the border and then print only that border. I will insert a code snippet that I have. It's messy - in development. Not familiar with DraftSight and DraftSight API.
I'm sure it's several different ways to do it.
Any help will be appreciated.

How can i use a variable in a for loop in a command ? (c#)

So i have a matrix of buttons, from a1f to a10f and from a to j, so a1f is on the top left and j10 is on the buttom right.
I want to to something like this:
for (i = 1; i < 11; i++)
{
a{i}f.BackgroundImage = Properties.Resources._1mal2_1_Rebellion;
b{i}f.BackgroundImage = Properties.Resources._1mal2_2_Rebellion;
a{i}f.Enabled = false;
a{i}f.Tag = "playerShip";
b{i}f.Enabled = false;
b{i}f.Tag = "playerShip";
}
so the first loop would be:
a1f.BackgroundImage = Properties.Resources._1mal2_1_Rebellion;
b1f.BackgroundImage = Properties.Resources._1mal2_2_Rebellion;
a1f.Enabled = false;
a1f.Tag = "playerShip";
b1f.Enabled = false;
b1f.Tag = "playerShip";
the second would be:
a2f.BackgroundImage = Properties.Resources._1mal2_1_Rebellion;
b2f.BackgroundImage = Properties.Resources._1mal2_2_Rebellion;
a2f.Enabled = false;
a2f.Tag = "playerShip";
b2f.Enabled = false;
b2f.Tag = "playerShip";
and so on..
a{i}f or a[i]f isnt working.
If you can't iterate the controls, you could store them in a temp array.
But you would probably better doing by generating the controls. It might be the next level for improvement. For now, you could try this:
For example:
// create arrays which contains the controls.
var aShips = new [] { a1f, a2f, a3f, a4f, a5f, a6f, a7f, a8f, a9f, a10f };
var bShips = new [] { b1f, b2f, b3f, b4f, b5f, b6f, b7f, b8f, b9f, b10f };
// notice the 0 and the < 10, because arrays are zero-indexed
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
// now you can access them via the array.
aShips[i].BackgroundImage = Properties.Resources._1mal2_1_Rebellion;
aShips[i].Enabled = false;
aShips[i].Tag = "playerShip";
bShips[i].BackgroundImage = Properties.Resources._1mal2_2_Rebellion;
bShips[i].Enabled = false;
bShips[i].Tag = "playerShip";
}

EP Plus - Error Table range collides with table

I am building an export to excel functionality using EP plus and c# application. I am currently getting the error.
'Table range collides with table tblAllocations29'
In my code logic below, I am looping through a data structure that contains key and collection as a value.
I looping across each key and once again loop through each collection belonging to that key.
I basically need to print tabular information for each collection along with its totals.
In the current scenario, I am getting the error when it is trying to print
three arrays
The first array has 17 records
The second array has 29 records
The third array has 6 records
I have taken a note of the ranges it is creating while debugging
The ranges are
A1 G18
A20 G50
A51 G58

This is how the data looks when it is displayed successfully
Your issue is entirely in your Print method. You've been bitten by creating a slightly over-complicated row tracking mechanism and combining that with magic numbers. This causes you to position each table after the first one row higher than it should be. The header and subtotals are not part of the table, so you have a couple rows of leeway for the error. Tables can't overlap as you've seen, so EPPlus starts barking at you after you've exhausted your leeway.
All you need to do is keep track of the current row that you are writing to, and account for the space taken by your table header and footer (the subtotals) if you use them.
You declare these:
int count = 0;
int previouscount = 0;
var position = 2;
int startposition = 1;
But to write to the correct row, all you need is this:
var rowNumber = 1;
This will properly start writing your data in row one of the Excel sheet. As you write your table rows, you'll track and increment only the rowNumber. But what about the header and footer of each table? If you start writing at the first row of your table you'll overwrite the header, and if you don't account for both the header and footer you'll start having collisions like you've seen. So lets do this:
var showFilter = true;
var showHeader = true;
var showTotals = true;
var rowAdderForHeader = Convert.ToInt32(showHeader);
var rowAdderForFooter = Convert.ToInt32(showTotals);
These are pretty self explanatory, you'll use the rowAdders to hop the header or footer when needed. rowNumber will always be your current row to create your table and write your data. You use the count when defining your table, but we've made it irrelevant for anything else, so we move it:
var allocationList = allocationGroup.ToList();
//Moved here
var count = allocationList.Count();
Your using statement becomes:
using (ExcelRange Rng = wsSheet1.Cells["A" + rowNumber + ":G" + (count + rowNumber)])
Next, it isn't mentioned in your post, but you are going to run into a problem with the following:
ExcelTableCollection tblcollection = wsSheet1.Tables;
ExcelTable table = tblcollection.Add(Rng, "tblAllocations" + count);
Your table names have to be unique, but you could very well wind up with multiple allocations having the same count, which will cause EPPlus to throw an exception at you for duplicating a table name. So you'll want to also track the index of your current table:
var rowNumber = 1;
var tableIndex = 0;
//...
foreach (var ag in allocation)
{
tableIndex += 1;
//...
}
And use it to ensure unique table names:
ExcelTableCollection tblcollection = wsSheet1.Tables;
ExcelTable table = tblcollection.Add(Rng, "tblAllocations" + tableIndex);
We use our format control variables:
// table.ShowHeader = true;
table.ShowFilter = true;
table.ShowTotal = true;
//Changes to
table.ShowHeader = showHeader;
table.ShowFilter = showFilter;
table.ShowTotal = showTotals;
You have a small typo here:
table.Columns[6].TotalsRowFormula = "SUBTOTAL(109,Allocations])";
//Should be:
table.Columns[6].TotalsRowFormula = "SUBTOTAL(109,[Allocations])";
After you are done defining your table, you begin writing your data with a foreach loop. In order to prevent overwriting the table header if it exists, we'll have to advance one row. We also have to advance one row for each FIRMWIDE_MANAGER_ALLOCATION. If you are using the subtotals, we have to advance one row after the loop completes in order to properly position the next table:
rowNumber += rowAdderForHeader;
foreach (var ac in allocationGroup)
{
//...
rowNumber += 1;
}
rowNumber += rowAdderForFooter;
And that's it. We now properly track our position using just one variable, and we modify the position as necessary if there is a header or footer on your table.
The following is a complete working example that can be run in LinqPad as long as you add the EPPlus package through Nuget. It creates a random number of allocation groups each with a random number of allocations, and then exports them. Change the output file path to something that works for you:
void Main()
{
var dataGenerator = new DataGenerator();
var allocations = dataGenerator.Generate();
var xlFile = new FileInfo(#"d:\so-test.xlsx");
if (xlFile.Exists)
{
xlFile.Delete();
}
using(var xl = new ExcelPackage(xlFile))
{
FundAllocationsPrinter.Print(xl, allocations);
xl.Save();
}
}

Left Align UICollectionView Cell When it has one item in Xamarin.ios

I am creating collection view with several size of labels. These labels all have the same height but their widths are changed dynamically.
This is the code of my collection view layout:
EstimatedItemSize = new CGSize(50f, 35f);
MinimumInteritemSpacing = 10f;
MinimumLineSpacing = 10f;
public override UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes[] LayoutAttributesForElementsInRect(CGRect rect)
{
var attributes = base.LayoutAttributesForElementsInRect(rect);
for (var i = 1; i < attributes.Length; ++i)
{
var currentLayoutAttributes = attributes[i];
var previousLayoutAttributes = attributes[i - 1];
var maximumSpacing = MinimumInteritemSpacing;
var previousLayoutEndPoint = previousLayoutAttributes.Frame.Right;
if (previousLayoutEndPoint + maximumSpacing + currentLayoutAttributes.Frame.Size.Width >= CollectionViewContentSize.Width)
{
continue;
}
var frame = currentLayoutAttributes.Frame;
frame.X = previousLayoutEndPoint + maximumSpacing;
currentLayoutAttributes.Frame = frame;
}
return attributes;
}
My question is: When I have one item in my collection view it's displayed in the center, and LayoutAttributesForElementsInRect method will not be called. But I need to display it on the left side.
If I change EstimatedItemSize = new CGSize(50f, 35f) to ItemSize = new CGSize(50f, 35f) it displays correctly but then the width is not changed dynamically.
You can add some codes to change the position of the first cell, when you use the EstimatedItemSize, like this:
public override UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes[] LayoutAttributesForElementsInRect(CoreGraphics.CGRect rect)
{
var attributes = base.LayoutAttributesForElementsInRect(rect);
//Add these lines to change the first cell's position of the collection view.
var firstCellFrame = attributes[0].Frame;
firstCellFrame.X = 0;
attributes[0].Frame = firstCellFrame;
for (var i = 1; i < attributes.Length; ++i)
{
var currentLayoutAttributes = attributes[i];
var previousLayoutAttributes = attributes[i - 1];
var maximumSpacing = MinimumInteritemSpacing;
var previousLayoutEndPoint = previousLayoutAttributes.Frame.Right;
if (previousLayoutEndPoint + maximumSpacing + currentLayoutAttributes.Frame.Size.Width >= CollectionViewContentSize.Width)
{
continue;
}
var frame = currentLayoutAttributes.Frame;
frame.X = previousLayoutEndPoint + maximumSpacing;
currentLayoutAttributes.Frame = frame;
}
return attributes;
}
It works fine like this:

Sorry, I do not believe there is a way to display two X-axis at the same time.
My suggestion is you use a CategoricalAxis for your X axis and create a custom bar chart that has a legend which differentiates the two values. I don't have any working samples, however you can use this Telerik Silverlight demo for starters.
Also, switch to RadChartView if you can. Because I would then suggest an easier approach, which is using a Categorical X-Axis and create multiple Y axes. If you go that route, you can do something like this for a DateTimeContinuous (or Categorical) X-axis with multiple Y-axes :
int count = 0;
LineSeries lineSeries = new LineSeries();
lineSeries.CategoryBinding = new PropertyNameDataPointBinding() { PropertyName = "TimeStamp" };
lineSeries.ValueBinding = new PropertyNameDataPointBinding() { PropertyName = "Value" };
lineSeries.VerticalAxis = new LinearAxis()
{
Title = "Title Here"
};
lineSeries.ItemsSource = yourCollection.Values;
//First Y-axis to be placed on the left of X-axis,
//additional Y-axes to be placed on right
if (count > 0 )
{
lineSeries.VerticalAxis.HorizontalLocation = Telerik.Charting.AxisHorizontalLocation.Right;
}
count++;
chartName.Series.Add(lineSeries);
Hope this helps.

Why Doesn't MSChart Fill Entire Chart Area?

I am working on creating a couple of charts and I cannot figure out why there is so much empty space on the left and right side of the chart. I have a Winforms Chart, ChartArea, and Series and there is always a good inch to the left and right side of the chart that seems like wasted space. What setting do I need to change to reduce the size of this empty space? I have included a screenshot of the chart with empty space with this post as well as the code that I use to create it. Thanks in advance.
